Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat – “The Perfect 10″ Released
Canonical have said that there isn’t really too much changed in this version compared to the outstanding 10.04 LTS release.
Some of these minor changes are, better Ubuntu One integrations/sycing, Shotwell replaces F-Spot, the installer now gives you the option to install the mp3 codec (this is my favourite feature) and overall they did some more polishing on the desktop user interface (the menus look great).
You can download it here, however I'd recommend getting the torrent version because you'll probably get better speeds, here.
Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 1 Released
Beta 1 is finally out after being postponed. I'd recommend you download the torrent version for the fastest download experience, check out the download page here.
What changes would you like to see in Beta 2 if it's not already been changed in this release? (I'm sure a lot of people are going to say, "buttons")
Is Google’s Chrome OS Good for Linux?
The number one reason Linux has not gained as much ground on the desktop as I think it could is simply that it does not always work out of the box and this is is due to the lack of driver support for standard peripherals. Most of the time Linux gets drivers for products much later in the devices life and by that point something better has come out that you want to use, be it a graphics card, sound card, wifi card, printer etc...Vendors don't see it as been worth while to invest in releasing Linux drivers along side Mac and Windows, because the returns are not significant enough.
Google Chrome OS Open Source Project Announcement
Google Chrome OS is an open source operating system for people who spend most of their time on the web built around the core tenets of speed, simplicity and security. http://www.chromium.org
During the Q&A I found that people really didn't understand what ChromOS is and the differences between it and the Chrome Browser. Firstly everything on the system is a web application so you should be able to use the web application from any browser. People just need to think of it as an OS that is just the browser. This means you never install applications, everything is stored remotely and nowadays that's fine seeing as we spend most of our time in a browser connected to the internet.
